1 Kings 8:7-15
8:7 The cherubs’ wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubs overshadowed the ark and its poles.
8:8 The poles were so long their ends were visible from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point.
They have remained there to this very day.
8:9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb.
It was there that
the
Lord made an agreement with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
8:10 Once the priests left the holy place, a cloud filled the
Lord’s temple.
8:11 The priests could not carry out their duties
because of the cloud; the
Lord’s glory filled his temple.
8:12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he lives in thick darkness.
8:13 O Lord, truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”
8:14 Then the king turned around and pronounced a blessing over the whole Israelite assembly as they stood there.
8:15 He said, “The Lord God of Israel is worthy of praise because he has fulfilled what he promised my father David.
